Chapter 179: Strike

"That's ......"

"That's the warrior of the Tang Dynasty!"

The moment the Yang Pre-team flag appeared, Liu Ji, who was hanging not far behind, saw it at a glance, because between the blue sky and white clouds, green water and grassland, a bright red suddenly appeared, and it was impossible for anyone to ignore it.

He sent out early in the morning, but when he could arrive, there was no certainty at all, this is the lack of communication technology, the information brought by the asymmetry, so that the prior plan, all turned into surprises, or there was no news.

They have been following behind the Tibetans, and there is a direct road from the western border of Nepal, over the mountains, which is the upper source of the Zang River, and then down the river, they will soon be able to reach Gongtang, which should be faster than them in principle, and at present it seems that the situation is not far from what was expected, and the two sides are almost on the same line.

Perhaps it was the arrival of the Tang people that boosted the fighting spirit of the Xiangxiong people, and they invariably quickened their pace, and their mouths let out all kinds of strange cries, like wolves coming down the mountain to feed.

What to do?

Xi Dongzan made a decision in an instant, the Tang people came with light horses, everyone has prepared horses, fight for speed, even if they give up everything, they can't escape the pursuit of the other party, then there is only one way left, he raised the iron gun in his hand and shouted to his subordinates.

"This is the land of the Tibetan people, for generations, endlessly, now, the enemy is in front of us, we have no way to retreat, it is the responsibility of every Tibetan man to protect our people, warriors, pick up your swords and guns, rush forward, kill them, even if they die in battle, they will be blessed by the gods, we have nothing to fear!"

"The gods are above!"

"The gods are above!"

All the Tubo people shouted together and rode their horses to meet them, but Xi Dongzan turned his head and called his cronies, pointing at Li Jingzhong, who was trembling: "Protect him, go to Gongtang City, you must protect him with your lives." ”

With that, he struck the horse hard, urged the war horse, waved the iron spear, and rushed towards the galloping Tang people.

The width of about two hundred steps, the depth of the water is very shallow, the current is not urgent, the speed of the Tang army is very fast, countless horses' hooves are splashing in all directions, and they rush through half of it in the blink of an eye, and Yang Pre, who is the first, has approached the opposite bank.

Less than a hundred steps away from Dagen, he pulled out his riding bow, and the bowstring was released with a "thud" the moment his body fell, and the gray-white arrow feathers trembled in the air, running towards its target in a slightly curved arc.

It was a swarthy Tubo heavy horseman, the huge figure was extremely eye-catching, because of the dodge, the feather arrow missed his chest, and shot into his shoulder without hindrance, this level of damage did not let him fall off his horse, but let out a low roar.

Yang pre at the moment when the feather arrow left the string, has discarded the riding bow, the long lance hanging on the horse in his hand, the horse's hooves can step on the beach on the opposite bank, he will lift the long lance, from one hand upside down to two hands, the strength of the whole body is concentrated in the waist, purely with the legs to control the horse, the body slightly bent forward, forming an impact momentum.

The two horses were approaching at a rapid pace, and Yang Yu did not make a move in advance, even though his weapon had the advantage of length.

"Huh!" The Tibetan cavalry who had been hit by an arrow raised the straight knife in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the tip of his lance, and the other hand held the reins, and at the moment when the two horses were staggered, he suddenly stood up, and the straight knife slashed downward, with a whimpering sound, straight to the enemy's head, and his body was ready to avoid the stabbing attack.

Twisting and dodging sideways, Yang Yu leaned to the right with all his strength, and when he couldn't wait, he avoided the blade that was close in front of him, and at the moment when the horse's body was staggered, the long lance stabbed out violently and stabbed straight into the opponent's back.

Back to the carbine!

The Tubo cavalry, who missed the blow, looked at the blood tip that suddenly appeared on his chest in disbelief, and then disappeared quickly, blood gushed out from his chest, back and mouth, and with a huge inertia, he fell from his horse and fell into the cold river.

Yang Yu took advantage of the horse's momentum to pull back the lance, but he didn't have time to turn the lance, the next enemy had arrived, he took advantage of the situation to use the lance to block the opponent's iron spear, and suddenly pulled it horizontally, and the lance swept over like a whip, and slammed it on the face of the Tubo people, and together with the nose guard of the iron helmet, it was sunken in, and the man lay on his back with his eyes blank, holding his face and not even making a wailing sound.

Knocking down the two heavy riders head-on, his confidence was greatly increased, and the lance in his hand danced like a spirit snake, and he rushed towards the overlapping enemy shadows.

Behind him, 50 Tang light horsemen met more than 100 Tubo heavy horses, followed by their generals, and the enemy collided fiercely, and the riverside resounded the sound of "ping pong", weapons intersected, war horses roared, injured and fell off the horse, and they were connected into a piece.

It was unfavorable for the Tang army to attack more with less, and to light the enemy with heaviness, but the result was that the team of the Tubo people was chiseled through by this small light horse, although the two sides hedged each other with casualties, and even the number was not far apart, but for the arrogant Xi Dongzan, not curbing the enemy's momentum and letting them rush over was a kind of frustration in itself.

Now that the offensive and defensive forces had been reversed, and the Tang had come to the other side, and they had occupied the tidal flats on the riverbank, Si Dongzan had to rein in his horse and turn his horse's head around, and by this time, his enemy had already completed this step because of the light horse.

At this moment, Yang Yu's men were less than thirty people, and he took the rest of his brothers, while rushing through the enemy ranks, he made a semi-circular turn, and quickly completed the turning of the entire team.

Yang Yu's long lance pointed forward obliquely, and the horse under the crotch sensed the master's fighting spirit, and galloped wildly, and the more than 20 horsemen behind him formed a small wedge-shaped formation, and chiseled into the Tubo people who had not yet formed a formation.

"Kill these bitches!"

"Kill!"

The long lance was like a forest, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the blade-like formation cut through the soft belly of the Tubo people, and the heavy cavalry without speed looked clumsy and inappropriate, and gradually collapsed under the blow of the Tang army.

Yang Pre's momentum was in full swing, and the long lance was used as a horizontal knife by him, sliding through the ribs of a Tubo man, and the friction between the iron armor and the iron tip burst out a long series of sparks, and the Tubo man had to hold his waist in vain until blood gushed out and the whole person lost his mind.

Xi Dongzan couldn't believe his eyes, in this situation, could he still fail?

He beat his horse like crazy, desperately trying to rush forward, his eyes aimed at the Tang man who rushed to the front, as long as he defeated him, he could save his decline.

At the same time, Yang Yu also found the Tubo people who were rushing towards him, and he looked like a leader, which made him even more excited, the two were like fierce beasts fighting for territory, and there was nothing else in their eyes except for each other.
